The program is three months long.  Participants will be assigned to different departmental divisions.  They will perform a variety of non-hazardous tasks that support police functions and develop knowledge of the basic functions and operations of the police department.  Examples of work assignments include (but are not limited to) aiding the Human Resources Division with a college or career fair and assisting instructors at the police academy.  Participants will also prepare for the rigors of the police academy and a policing career with the HPD through learning opportunities.  Learning opportunities include (but are not limited to) tips for academic success at the police academy and ride-alongs with a veteran patrol officer.
